The security guard surrounded her warily, “This is a private place. You can’t come in.”
“I beg you, please save me, I will do household chores or anything you want” The woman knelt on the ground and begged. I didn’t want to take care of it, but those men went too far, kicking and punching a woman, and if I don’t stop them, I’m afraid she will be killed by them.
“Stop it.”
Those people looked at me one by one. Gavin is a prominent figure here, and few people don’t dare to offend him. So, when they saw me, they were dissatisfied, as if to tell me to mind my own business, but they still restrained me a lot. They politely said, “About this lady, we don’t want to do this either, but this woman owes us a lot of money and wants to run away.”
“How does she owe you money, and even if she is in debt, you don’t need to do such a heavy hand.”
“No, I didn’t owe them money at all. It was my husband fault who ate, drank, and gambled. He sold me when he owed money and couldn’t afford it.”
My mood is a bit complicated. Is there such a man in this world to save himself and just sell his woman? If you don’t intend to protect your woman for a lifetime, why marry her?
I sighed in my heart.
“Miss, I beg you, help me. You can let me do anything for you.”
Her pierce pleading upset me, and I touched my big belly subconsciously.
“Let her go.”
They are very embarrassed. “Miss, if we can, we don’t want to embarrass ourselves, if you just let her go, who will pay us back, it is not easy for us.”
“How much does she owe you?”
“Ten million, this is not a small amount.”
“Wait, I’ll get it for you.”
Everyone present was shocked! The bodyguards tried to persuade me, and I waved my hand to tell them not to worry.
I gave them a cheque amounting to 10 million dollars, and they didn’t expect someone to redeem a woman, so they took the cheque and farted away.
The woman suddenly knelt down in front of me and bowed her head. “Thank you, you are really a bodhisattva, and good people like you must be rewarded.”
“No, you can go.” I said lightly.
But she didn’t look like she was leaving.”Miss, can I stay? I can be a servant. ”
“No, I just don’t understand what they do.”
“You are kind enough to take me in. I have no place to go. I have no family. Even if I go back, one day I will be sold to other men.”
I shook my head and saw that she was so pitiful, so I nodded. “You can stay, but I have one request.”
“What do you need? Please say it.”
“Don’t kneel down.”
“Yes. Thank you!”
She worked so hard. She tidied up everything in the house in an afternoon, and other servants couldn’t help praising her.
“Miss, you are pregnant, so you should have a good rest.”
She helped me to sit down, but before she could speak, Gavin came in, looked at the strange woman in front of him, and asked doubtfully, “Who is she?”
“I hired her to take care of me.”
“What’s the matter? Are you dissatisfied with our servant?”
“No, I believe she will be able to care for me for a long time. More significantly, once we started talking, I couldn’t help but want to keep her around.”
Gavin had to make compromises since I insisted so much.
“All right. You should take excellent care of the young girl in the future, you know?” says the guy to the woman.
“I understand, and I will try my very best.”
I couldn’t stop smiling and weeping as I observed Gavin’s tenacity. “Well, let’s get something to eat first.”
Afterward, he sat down beside me and nodded. My mobile phone rang right in the middle of this conversation. When I looked at the caller ID, I was a little concerned since it displayed my mother’s phone number.
“Mom,” I said as I answered the phone.
“Acacia, you have finally answered the phone, and I am happy to hear from you.”
“Can you tell me what’s going on?”
“You’ve never phoned us to tell us where you are, my child. We haven’t been able to locate you anymore. We’re concerned.” Said mom.
“Didn’t I come out together with Gavin, as I told you? Mom, don’t be too worried.”
“How can I not think of you? Will you come back if you don’t tell us anything?”
“Not just now, mother.” I said.
“Can you tell me what’s going on? Tell mom, or tell me the address, and mother will take care of you.”
“I…” I’m completely at a loss for words.
Gavin took the phone just as I was ready to say anything and sweetly replied, “Don’t worry, Auntie, about your Acacia. Acacia is good with me. Furthermore, have you and your uncle ever heard of a well-known painter and is about to open a new exhibition of her work?”
“Of course I’m aware that that person should not be…”
“Yes, she is Acacia, therefore we can’t go back till the show is over.”
I don’t recall my mom saying anything else after she had listened to his comments. She believed it, and she felt a bit relieved that her daughter would be able to finally break free from love.
As I hung up the phone, I expressed my gratitude .
I’ve been working on preparations for the birth these last several weeks, and before I realized it, it was time to give birth. I was forced into the operation room, and the pain that was all over my body took control of my actions.
I must be in good health for the sake of the child.
My mood changed when I heard the infant sobbing. I became calm and drowsy.
I’m not sure how long it took, but when I opened my eyes, Gavin had my baby in his arms.
I grinned, I feel relieved. My daughter is a lovely girl. I’ll work hard to make her the happiest girl in the world and not be like me.
Gavin caressed her when he held her baby in his arms, saying, “Do you know that I am your father, baby?”
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The use of that word is something I don’t want him to utter “Please, Gavin, don’t makeup nonsense. What makes you think you can be her father?”
He listened to what I had to say but didn’t seem to care. Instead of saying “I don’t care,” he said, “I am the biological father of the kid.”
I was at a loss for what I was going to do with him at this point.
During this period, I was keeping myself occupied by painting while recuperating, and eventually, the day of the exhibition came along.
